fishing report - Dec 23
Updated: Mon Dec 23, 2024
Lake level continues to hold at about 1 foot low, no major rains happening nor forecast in the next week or so. Water temps also holding in the mid 60's no major changes in the temperature forecast, also for the next week or so.looks like fishing into the new year will remain FAIR to GOOD for all species, no big ups or downs, at least according to the weather forecast.
What we are looking forward to, though:
-warmer than average temperatures, at least so far into this winter, could lead to earlier movement of white bass up the creeks, and earlier movement of both bass and crappie into the shallower nesting and spawning areas of the lake, particularly in the northern part if we don't get heavy rainfall.
Also, for the winter/spring bass tournament teams, there will be a reopening of the old Villages Lake O' the Woods lodging area in Dogwood City, renovated and under new management
-another trout stouking in the 2 Tyler city parks right after New Year's, so that short, quick trips of at least some fishing will be available, even if Lake Palestine is weathered out. Jim
